Night’s Nomenclature

Chapter 926: Shadow Play

As the clang of metal began, the magician snapped his fingers.

The entire amusement park world began to become bizarre and fantastic. Those whom you had killed, those whom you had abandoned, those whom you had loved, all began to emerge from the shadows of darkness.

They came from nowhere, and they came for no reason.

The moment they appeared, your world was turned upside down between illusion and reality.

Cao Wei, Shendai Yunhe, Silver Duke, Black Knights, one figure after another, clung to Qing Chen like shadows.

Their faces were pale, but their eye sockets were deep black, looking exceptionally creepy, as if they had just crawled out of hell.

"Why did you kill us?"

"Because they should die," Qing Chen said calmly: "Even if life were to be repeated once, even if life were to be repeated ten thousand times, you would still die. I thought there would be some tricks, I thought you would be as difficult to deal with as Trial of Heart. Do you even deserve to be compared with Trial of Heart? Get out!"

Qing Chen walked through them as if through nothingness, but he found that Ghost Child could not pass through the wall of people, so he turned around again and, with his already broken body, forcefully pushed open all the ghostly figures: "Excuse me."

Cao Wei and the others actually let him through. Qing Chen carefully instructed Ghost Child: "Follow closely, there are many bad guys outside, don't let anyone abduct you. Human traffickers are rampant these days, every single one of them must be caught and sent to jail."

The usually silent Qing Chen was now like the other extreme, a chatterbox.

He looked up: "The moon is so round tonight."

"And so bright."

"But, as the bright moon is about to rise to the zenith, just as the midday sun's rays are almost invisible, the shadows in this haunted house maze are about to disappear."

Shadows disappear.

The roads will disappear too.

Then he would only be able to run around in the maze like a fool, relying on his broken body.

Without those Shadow Gates, the six Demi-God paintings would be enough to kill him.

There's only an hour left before he returns, but he's encountered a dead end.

Chen Yu had calculated all this, so he remained calm, allowing Qing Chen to make the most of the last 20 minutes with shadows. Two Fumo King Kongs were guarding the defensive positions on the "crowded chessboard' perimeter, cooperating steadily with the Flying God Woman to force Qing Chen into a corner.

It must be said that Chen Yu is an excellent chess player. Even without the time when the shadows disappear, he would eventually kill Qing Chen in the maze.

The positions of the Fumo King Kongs on the chessboard simply didn't allow Qing Chen to move freely.

Qing Chen was like a pawn on a chessboard, trapped in the corner by two chariots, two knights, and two cannons.

Once they meet, Chen Yu could use the vast gulf between Demi-God and A-Class to crush Qing Chen, even if Qing Chen is a Knight, even if he has eaten Dragon Fish, drunk Jingshan Tea, and stolen Chen Yu's Purple Orchid Star.

It's still useless!

Qing Chen's left shoulder, right shoulder, left arm, and right arm were all comminuted fractures, with no chance of killing Chen Yu.

The vast maze, stretching for hundreds of kilometers across the Forbidden Zone, could not accommodate Qing Chen alone!

Chen Yu could have waited, he could have played cat and mouse for a day and night, wearing Qing Chen down, or capturing and interrogating Qing Chen about the secrets of the gods.

But now his heart was full of killing intent, just like the man in the town who was holding a knife to kill someone, his eyes were bloodshot. He knew that Qing Chen is a Time Traveler, he couldn't be sure if Qing Chen would have any more adventures in the seven days after traveling back, so he had to use the time between 11:20 pm and Ling to kill Qing Chen.

No mercy!

At this time, Chen Yu looked at Chen Chuanzhi beside him: "How is it? The next generation of Knights is going to die here."

Chen Chuanzhi didn't speak, but the deceased Li Bingxi suddenly appeared, and he said gloomily: "The Chen Family Demigod's reputation is well-deserved, but why couldn't you kill Qing Zhun outside Forbidden Zone 002? If you had killed Qing Zhun back then, I wouldn't have died, and your paintings wouldn't have been lost."

Chen Yu retorted loudly: "He was already a god for a quarter of an hour, how can mortals kill a god?"

Li Bingxi sneered coldly: "You also know that he is a god, but you are still just a mortal. Do you remember what he said? He is a mountain you will never surpass in your life, and the moment you think of him, you will feel fear. Chen Yu, your path of cultivation was cut off at that moment. He left you to his brother; you were just the best whetstone for his brother."

Chen Yu sneered: "His brother is about to die, I'll let you see with your own eyes how his brother dies."

"He will travel back in time to become a Demi-God, and then, like Li Shutong defeated your father, he will defeat you."

Chen Yu's face was as heavy as water: "How can he travel back in time? The shadows in this haunted house maze are almost gone, how can he travel back in time?" The two people inside and outside the haunted house maze both fell into the trap of mental pollution because they violated the rules of the amusement park.

Except that Qing Chen started from the drifting area.

While Chen Yu relied on the strength of a Demi-God and fought hard for a long time. Does the amusement park have rules? No.

To be precise, there are no rules like those in the Forbidden Zone that almost erase you.

If it were the Forbidden Zone's rules, Chen Yu wouldn't have had any problems. Those rules that are "erasure' for ordinary people, Chen Yu could leave the Forbidden Zone on a green ox at any time, and even the magical creatures in the Forbidden Zone, Vermillion Bird and Qingshan Hua, might not be able to do anything to him.

But are there punishments? Yes.

Once you violate its rules, you will gradually fall into the psychological suggestion trap set by Li Shentan.

Therefore, those who were punished in this amusement park were all killed by Li Shentan, not by the rules.

It's just that the extremely strange killing method of the devil's whisperer made everyone think it was the rules.

After Chen Yu came to the amusement park, it wasn't easy for Li Shentan's hypnosis to take effect directly on him.

But after the two Demi-Gods clashed from a distance, Chen Yu was one step behind, pulled into the mud and abyss by Li Shentan. The world of Metahumans is like a tall building, and Chen Yu, this Demi-God, is the one standing on the rooftop of the building. High and cold, he has no opponents. But Li Shentan and Yan Liuyuan, the Demi-Gods above the Demi-Gods, are like two dark clouds covering the building.

They rarely take action, and after building this amusement park, they all fell into an almost irreversible sleep.

But they're still there.

For Demi-God Chen Yu, Li Shentan's actions are even more terrifying than the rules of the Forbidden Zone.

At this time, Chen Yu controlled the six Demi-God paintings, frantically forcing Qing Chen to hide in a corner of the maze.

The moon slowly moved to the zenith, and the shadowy paths in the maze disappeared.

It was at this moment that Qing Chen suddenly heard someone ask behind him, "Brother, have you seen my mother?"

Qing Chen suddenly turned to look at the Ghost Child behind him, but the Ghost Child had shed its pale face, looking like a normal child.

It was no longer a Ghost Child, but Qing Chen himself as a child. This Ghost Child who called out to him to come home in the dark slide was the scar he couldn't erase.

Qing Chen smiled: "I thought you looked familiar, it turns out you're the one in my heart. No wonder if you are swallowed by the gecko, Li Shentan will take my subconsciousness away."

The child didn't answer, but asked on its own: "Brother, have you seen my mother? She said she was going to buy me candied haws, and then she disappeared."

Qing Chen was stunned, that was the afternoon he was abandoned by Zhang Wanfang for the first time. He waited from noon to dusk, until someone asked,

Until someone called the police.

He didn't wait for his mother to come back until night.

Mom said she was lost, but Qing Chen knew at that time that he had already been abandoned once.

Qing Chen smiled, crouched down and touched the child's head, saying: "Be good, let's go with brother, that mother is not important. Brother can give you everything, everything you want, the path of cultivation, power, and money."

The child pushed his hand away and cried loudly: "I want my mother."

Qing Chen sat silently on the ground, he suddenly hugged the child: "Don't cry, you will meet a very good master in the future, and one day you will travel to a place called Prison 18, where your brother will secretly watch you in the dark. You will experience some setbacks, but life will get better."

"Really?" the child asked: "Brother, have you let go?"

Qing Chen smiled: "I let go of this Trial of Heart, I've gone through it once. I feel relieved now, I can pass this Trial of Heart, but Chen Yu's hurdle, I'm afraid he can't pass it."

As he spoke, he stood up and looked behind him, Qing Zhun was leaning against the maze wall with a smile: "Long time no see."

Qing Chen said seriously: "Brother, thank you. You are the mountain that Chen Yu will never surpass in his life, and he is bound to die in this battle. I can pass this Trial of Heart, but he can't."

After the clang of metal, everyone who fell into mental pollution would enter a higher level of hypnosis. This hypnotic state is very similar to Trial of Heart, or it can be said that it is another Trial of Heart, so there are so many people who die here.

At this moment, Qing Chen finally knew how his master Li Shutong got out, because they, Knights, had already broken their inner demons since the day they set foot on the path of cultivation.

Li Shutong could get out, Chen Yu might have been able to get out before the clang of metal, but now he definitely can't get out.

Qing Zhun asked with a smile: "You came here because you were worried that you didn't have enough certainty, right? You know that Li Shentan, Yan Liuyuan, and Ren Xiaosu's power is here, so you want to use their power to deal with Chen Yu. Even if you can't break through to Demi-God, you might have a chance to leave Chen Yu here."

"Hmm," Qing Chen nodded: "But there were too many accidents, and I didn't expect that I would fall into mental pollution as soon as I entered. Of course, I haven't reached a real dead end yet, I still have a chance."

Qing Zhun said with a smile: "As expected of my brother, but your mind is about to collapse now. Although you passed the Trial of Heart, every time you separate a ghost, you will weaken your own willpower. Look behind you, you've already got more than 600 ghosts following you. When they reach a thousand, your consciousness may be annihilated in this infinite division. This is Li Shentan's killing method:"

"You kill a ghost you see, which is actually erasing a part of your mental will. Even if you don't kill them, if you leave them alone, they will continue to divide, dividing your mental will into a thousand parts, until you lose your dominance and become a collection of a thousand personalities."

"It's like schizophrenia, but no one in human history has ever split so severely."

"The killing method is so strange and unpredictable."

Qing Chen smiled: "I'll be back to the Outer World soon, and there, I can use the Restorative Shroud, I can use the syringe."

"Good idea," Qing Zhun nodded: "But how are you going to go back? Look, they're coming. Your way is gone."

Qing Chen looked up at the God Women flying from the sky. One by one, they held red silk ribbons, and rushed towards him without hesitation.

On Qing Chen's left and right sides, two Fumo King Kongs had already attacked him separately.

He stood in the center of the battlefield, surrounded by gods and Buddhas!

Kill!

But at this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of Qing Chen's mouth: "It's not only the moon and the sun that can cast shadows."

At the critical moment, a Vajra came thundering, and the red silk ribbons swept like whips.

Beyond the multiple crises, a golden thunderbolt fell outside the battlefield. The D-Class skill of Virtual Realm Thunderbolt Mage, a thunderbolt strike. Actually, this thing doesn't do much damage to a Demi-God, but whether it does damage or not doesn't matter, what matters is that it has light.

With light, there are shadows.

In an instant, the light of the thunderbolt bloomed behind the maze wall opposite Qing Chen, and the shadow of the maze wall instantly swallowed Qing Chen!

Qing Chen hung his arms, smiling at the God Women in front of him: "Chen Yu, I will kill you."

Boom!

The Vajra and the red silk ribbons fell, colliding with each other and making a deafening sound, but Qing Chen, the center of all the attacks, was gone!

The light of the thunderbolt strike came quickly and left quickly, in the blink of an eye, the shadow passage opened and closed again, and Qing Chen's figure was 400 meters away!

Thunderbolts kept blooming, this D-Class skill consumes very little thunder energy, Qing Chen had deliberately left a Raikiri unused, just for this moment!

Several thunderbolts fell alternately, in just three breaths of time, Qing Chen hadn't taken a single step, but he had already arrived several kilometers away from the battlefield!

This time, no matter how the six Demi-God paintings chased, they could no longer touch a single hair of Qing Chen. The thunder energy in Qing Chen's body could support at least dozens of thunderbolt strikes, this is the confidence he felt was enough to last until his return!

The frantic encirclement and suppression began, but no matter how hard the Demi-God paintings tried, they were useless.

Chen Yu outside the haunted house maze had already killed his eyes red, and he tore off his sleeves, revealing his arms.

On those arms were two tattoos of Gonggong, the god of water!

Chen Yu used his thumb nail as a knife, and cut his skin, and two Gonggong figures soared into the sky, flying towards the sky of the haunted house maze!

The paintings of Chen Family painters are easy to destroy, steal, or even be framed by their own people, so a stunning painter appeared in the Chen Family a hundred years ago, who painted the paintings on his own body, nourishing them with blood every day!

Just as Qin Sheng opened a new path for Knights, this Chen Family painter also opened a new path for future generations, the innate painting!

This is also the reason why Chen Yu dared to crush six paintings in one go, because he still had a trump card!

At this time, the two Gonggong figures had already flown above Qing Chen, and the flood poured down, covering several kilometers. This water is aqua regia, and any flesh and blood that touches it will have its skin rot, its flesh melt, and its bones dissolve! This time, Qing Chen stood still. He smiled and looked up at the two Gonggong figures: "Seven days later, I'll kill you."

Countdown to Ling.

Return.
